Vehicle care173Vehicle tools
Tools
To open the cover, lift the carpeting.
Raise, rotate and lift the ring.
The jack and the vehicle tools are in
a pouch, secured to the stowage
compartment in the floor of the load
compartment with a rubber strap.
To close the lid, insert the lugs on its
front rim into the recesses and lock
into place.
Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Tyres
Tyres of size 225/45 R 17 are only permitted if the vehicle is equipped
with electronic stability program.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 195/65 R 15,
195/60 R 16, 205/55 R 16 and
225/45 R 17 can be used as winter
tyres.

Vehicle care179
Always use fine mesh chains that addno more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain
lock).9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of
size 195/65 R 15, 195/60 R 16,
205/55 R16, 205/50 R 17 and
225/45 R17.
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR 18
and 235/35 R 19.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread can be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is near the rim cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.
9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply parking brake and engage first
gear, reverse gear or P.
The tyre repair kit is in the stowage
compartment in the load
compartment.
Push the locking tabs forward and
remove the cover.
1. Take the sealant bottle and bracket with air hose from the
insert.
2. Detach air hose from bracket and screw onto sealant bottle
connection.

Vehicle care181
9. Switch on the compressor bypressing the on/off switch. The
tyre is filled with sealant.
10. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilstthe sealant bottle is emptying
(approx. 30 seconds). Then the
pressure starts to drop.
11. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
12. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within
10 minutes. Tyre pressure
3 206 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, switch off the
compressor by pressing the on/off switch again.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.Release excess tyre pressure
using the ] button.
Do not run the compressor longer than 10 minutes.
13. Disconnect plug from power outlet, place in plug compartment
and remove tyre repair kit. Push
catch on bracket to remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw
tyre inflation hose to the free
connection of sealant bottle. This
prevents sealant from escaping.
Stow tyre repair kit in load
compartment.
14. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
15. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.
16. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
10 km (but no more than
10 minutes), stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve and
compressor when doing this.If tyre pressure is more than 1.3 bar , set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
17. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.
Notice
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre is severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least 30
minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of 7 bar.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.

11. Stow the replaced wheel 3 179
and the vehicle tools 3 173.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and also the wheel
bolt torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired.
Spare wheel If mounting a spare wheel, which is
different from the other wheels, this
wheel might be classified as a
temporary spare wheel and the
corresponding speed limits apply,
even though no label indicates this.

The spare wheel has a steel rim.
Use of a spare wheel that is smaller
than the other wheels or together with
winter tyres could affect driveability.
Have the defective tyre replaced as
soon as possible.
The spare wheel is kept beneath the
vehicle.

Temporary spare wheel
Use of the temporary spare wheel
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h. Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long period of time.
The use of the temporary spare wheel
on the rear axle is not permitted while towing another vehicle. Therefore
mount the temporary spare wheel on
the front axle and a full-size tyre on
the rear axle.
